MODERATORS
 

The Supreme Court seemed likely to uphold a key preventive-care provision of the Affordable Care Act in a case heard Monday.

Conservative justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, along with the court’s three liberals, appeared skeptical of arguments that Obamacare’s process for deciding which services must be fully covered by private insurance is unconstitutional.

The case could have big ramifications for the law’s preventive care coverage requirements for an estimated 150 million Americans. Medications and services that could be affected include statins to prevent heart disease, lung cancer screenings, HIV-prevention drugs and medication to lower the chance of breast cancer for high-risk women.

THIS.

The ACA was created in a Conservative Think Tank. It's the Health Insurance Industry's wet dream: every single citizen MANDATED to buy health insurance. Mitt Romney tested the waters when he was Governor of Massachusetts. It was very popular. It should have been, it was better than dying with no insurance in a trailer park.

It's only when they labeled it OBAMACARE that the chuds lost their minds. Multiple independent journalistic organizations went to ground to interview peasants about their opinions on both, and when told it was the same thing, they did everything they could think of to justify not liking Obamacare (i.e., Negrocare.)

And most of their Boomer voters still believe they're not the same thing.

I fought hard against the aca and I WANT universal, single payer health. The aca is terrible, and is nothing more than a tax for being alive
